The purpose of this study was to determine reference values in the 20m sprint test for Spanish preschool children and to examine the influence of age, sex and anthropometrics characteristics in sprint performance. A cross-sectional study was used. A total of 3076 children, aged 3 to 6 years, participated in this study (1539 girls and 1537 boys). To measure running speed, the 20m sprint test was used. In the analysis of reliability, using test-retest with 89 children (48% boys), the following descriptive results were obtained (mean, SD): at pretest=5.72±0.98s, at retest=5.71±0.87s (p=0.819), and an intraclass correlation coefficient=0.929 (95% confidence interval 0.891-0.954). Boys are faster than girls at 3 to 5 years old, but no significant differences were found at 6 years old. In relation to age, the sprint time was shorter as kids got older. This study provides reference values for running speed assessment through a 20m sprint test carried out on a large sample of Spanish preschoolers.
本研究的目的是确定西班牙学龄前儿童20米短跑测试的参考值，并研究年龄、性别和人体测量学特征对短跑成绩的影响。采用横断面研究。共有3076名3至6岁的儿童参与了本研究（1539名女孩和1537名男孩）。为测量跑步速度，采用了20米短跑测试。在可靠性分析中，对89名儿童（48%为男孩）进行重测，得到以下描述性结果（均值，标准差）：预测试时为5.72±0.98秒，重测时为5.71±0.87秒（p=0.819），组内相关系数为0.929（95%置信区间0.891-0.954）。3至5岁时男孩比女孩跑得快，但6岁时未发现显著差异。关于年龄，随着孩子年龄增长，短跑时间缩短。本研究通过对大量西班牙学龄前儿童进行20米短跑测试，为跑步速度评估提供了参考值。
